We owe national team coaches – NFF

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has owned up to failing to fulfil its contractual obligations to coaches under their employment.

There have been constant reports of the NFF’s failure to pay Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro and his Super Falcons counterpart, Randy Waldrum, salaries as when due.

Other national teams are also reportedly owed several months’ salaries by the NFF.

Director of Communications Ademola Olajire admitted that the football house is currently cash-strapped and cannot pay its workers.

“The NFF has been facing huge financial challenges and there is an ongoing effort to resolve all the issues relating to unpaid wages,” Olajire told BBC Sport Africa.

“It is unfortunately not something to be proud of and the new board of the federation is working hard to resolve the problems.”

Aside from the coaches, players of the different national teams are also owed camp allowances and match bonuses.
